Hello! 

 

Preferably no slow loading times, the budget can be used even if less money can get sth that does the job :P

 

Budget (including currency): 500 € - 700 €

Country: Luxembourg (Europe, next to Germany)

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Youtube

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Enough SSD space to not worry about it for keeping lots of pictures, Videos etc.

Word, power point, and youtube need nearly nothing for power.  Excel only sometimes does.  Really large complicated spreadsheets can need many threads to run quickly.  Smaller ones generally do not.   If there is no gaming involved any iGPU or apu would have enough video power, and if big excel things are not being done anything should suffice.  I’d say an older used intel 4/4 or 4/8 machine with no discrete GPU.  Add an SSD to speed things up a bit. A low profile machine that won’t hold a good video card because it’s too thin should be pretty cheap used.  Get out form under for the whole thing sub 300.  
 

If you DO need to do complicated excel work you need a multi core ryzen cpu.  They’re cheaper per core than intel and you don’t need thread speed.  Maybe a 2600 or 2700.  These CPUs will need a discrete gpu.  You won’t need much though.  Cheapest you can get ahold of. 

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

basicly @boggy77's build but you wont need that many ssds. 1tb fast m.2ssd is more than enough honestly and mayby more silent cooler and psu? if OP favors accoustics.

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

 

Main PC:

Spoiler

|Ryzen 7 3700x, OC to 4.2ghz @1.3V, 67C, or 4.4ghz @1.456V, 87C || Asus strix 5700 XT, +50 core, +50 memory, +50 power (not a great overclocker) || Asus Strix b550-A || G.skill trident Z Neo rgb 32gb 3600mhz cl16-19-19-19-39, oc to 3733mhz with the same timings || Cooler Master ml360 RGB AIO || Phanteks P500A Digital || Thermaltake ToughPower grand RGB750w 80+gold || Samsung 850 250gb and Adata SX 6000 Lite 500gb || Toshiba 5400rpm 1tb || Asus Rog Theta 7.1 || Asus Rog claymore || Asus Gladius 2 origin gaming mouse || Monitor 1 Asus 1080p 144hz || Monitor 2 AOC 1080p 75hz || 

Test Rig.

Spoiler

| Ryzen 5 3400G || Gigabyte b450 S2H || Hyper X fury 2x4gb 2666mhz cl 16 ||Stock cooler || Antec NX100 || Silverstone essential 400w || Transgend SSD 220s 480gb ||

Just Sold

Spoiler

| i3 9100F || Msi Gaming X gtx 1050 TI || MSI Z390 A-Pro || Kingston 1x16gb 2400mhz cl17 || Stock cooler || Kolink Horizon RGB || Corsair CV 550w || Pny CS900 120gb ||

 

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

That’s a 4/8 ryzen+ cpu with integrated video.
this would be a good build for small-medium excel files.  It will huff-and-puff and grunt with a really large one but it will work. 

 M.2 may not be needed.  Might be worth bumpin the m.2 to 2tb and ditching the sata drive or ditching the m.2. Not sure which is cheaper. Should save some cash if that’s important. 
 

As a side note it will even do some very light gaming.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.
